NME Analysis 3

Blog 7

Hello Everyone,

                     Today I reviewed my final NME this issue has a large picture of Lana Del Rey on it. This issue is slightly different as it has a specific background – an American flag. The others just had plain backgrounds but Lana Del Rey is actually American as this represents her personally. Also the NME logo is white instead of the traditional red. This is effects as it makes the reader question whether this is a special issue making them want to read it. I like the use of large blue font that says her name, as its bold and eye catching, also it sticks to the colour scheme of blue, black and white and with the small blue squares in the bottom banner it seems to pull the page together keeping it consistent and neat.

The conventions I would consider using is having quotes on the front from other articles and artists that will be featured I think it’s a nice idea. Quotes are affective as they make the reader feel more connected to the artist. The thing I would do differently is I wouldn't have the quote as the main title for the artist, yes it includes the name of the artist but I would prefer to have an actual title. The conventions I wouldn't use is the angled text boxes I much prefer it neat and straight, it makes Lana Del Ray seem really far in the background and she is the most important part of the cover.
